Alas (1927)
Jack Powell (Charles Rogers), un joven que vive en una pequeña ciudad de Estados Unidos en 1917, está enamorado de la sofisticada Sylvia Lewis (Jobyna Ralston) y se siente irritado por las constantes atenciones de la chica de la casa de al lado, Mary Preston (Clara Bown), Sylvia está a su vez enamorada del rico heredero David Armstrong (Richard Arlen), aunque su relación se ve interrumpida cuando los dos jóvenes se alistan en el Ejército. Tras un periodo de enfrentamiento, entran en las Fuerzas Aéreas y Jack y David conocen al cadete White (Gary Cooper), quien les sirve de inspiración para sus futuros combates aéreos. Drama bélico que ha pasado a la historia por ser el primer film que ganó el Oscar a la mejor película, el año de la creación de los premios de la Academia americana (años 1927-1928).
